March 2006—Avalon Travel Publishing is pleased to announce the April release of Road Trip USA, the new edition of Jamie Jensen’s best-selling book to America’s two-lane highways.
This summer millions of graduates, families, and couples will drive their way across the country’s two-lane highways and backroads in search of a unique American experience.

Now in its expanded fourth edition, with over 400,000 copies sold, Road Trip USA is better than ever.
Chock full of quirky pit-stops like the world’s largest collection of Judy Garland memorabilia, obscure towns (have you ever heard of Hermann Missouri?), popular attractions such as Disneyland, Olympic National Park, and Daytona Beach, as well as local lore, oddball trivia, and noteworthy details of major cities, Road Trip USA is the only guide you’ll need when taking to the road.
Whether drivers are California-dreamin’ along the West Coast, making their way out west along the Oregon Trail, or wheeling their way through the South sampling barbeque, Road Trip USA makes exiting the interstates a one-of-a-kind driving adventure.
The newest edition of Road Trip USA features:
• A flexible network of route combinations, extensively cross-referenced to allow for hundreds of possible itineraries
• Essential tips for the road: call letters of lively radio stations, Survival Guides for two dozen cities, and details on where to
eat and sleep
